Espeon Waited

By a quirk of timing, I've finally received my pokemon exchange gift after many months.

International shipping can, and did take its time. In late April, with no pokemon gift in sight, I went overseas for a few months, trying to qualify for the World Athletics Championships in races in Italy and Spain. While I was absent, an Espeon plush arrived in secret, bearing a letter and a drawing.

I was ultimately successful in my quest, being named in the Australian team for the championships, and upon my return, I discovered that Espeon had been waiting, as if to congratulate me.

I apologise to my giftee for being away for so long, but I hope that they can finally be at peace knowing that their gift did make it, and that I love it.
